I remember one time when I was about 14 years old I was taking one of those purity quizes online with a friend who was 16 and a girl (I being a guy). She started filling it out and reading the questions out loud. When she came across the question "Have you ever shaved your pubic hair?" she clicked yes and moved on. Well, I didn't know what the word pubic meant so I thought they just misspelled public hair (like as in the hair on top of your head) I immideately asked her when she did that because I had never seen her bald before. She started beating the crap out of me because she thought I had been spying on her. By the time I explained myself I had already earned my very first black eye.
